Starting with Dingo's OpenOffice_3.01.sfs I made two changes to produce OpenOffice_au-301.sfs:
1) It contains the Australian-English dictionary as well as the standard English dictionary, but no other dictionaries.
2) It doesn't put any icons on the desktop, (doesn't contain a PuppyPin file). It adds six rox-apps into /root/my-roxapps instead.

OpenOffice_au-301.sfs is 148M in size, much too big for my personal web space on my ISP.
If anyone is interested in using this file, please reply here and I will investigate a site to host it.

This Open office-au.sfs sounds good.
How or where is it available please?

In response to a request from Dingo, I just placed the current version of "OpenOffice_au-301.sfs" on "filefront".

Unfortunately due to the time delay since my previous post, I had assumed that I was producing this ".sfs" purely for my own use. So in the mean time I have changed it. It no longer places apps in "/root/my-roxapps", but places desktop icon config files in "/root/Desktop", suitable for my "onDesktop" package.

Edit: Deleted URL, new version, see post below.

I am using Puppy 4.21 with kernel 2.6.25.16. Since the SFS file for OO 3.1 "fails to mount / unmount" on my system, I downloaded the SFS to version 3.01 from the link in the first post of this topic. I thought that if the SFS file is in /mnt/home, the program should install on startup. This does not happen; the SFS is not even mounted. I have to click on it, it mounts perfectly. I then have to fish for the "swriter" etc files inside the "opt" subfolder, the programs run very well. But of course making any sort of shortcuts to them on the desktop is useless, because after a reboot the programs stop being visible, and I have to mount the file again etc.etc.

Is this behaviour normal? What should I do to "properly" install OO from this SFS?
